Thread: Stone Guard

Enough protection is still not enough 8O

Hey Baz I noticed on your Simpson trip pics that you had stuff taped to the rear side windows, was this to protect them or just keep the sun/heat out or were you unfortunate enough to break one?

I used some shadecloth on the back window of the disco while doing the Oodnadatta track and Mereenie loop. I doubt that this would stop any large stones and may have been more luck than the shadecloth that saved my back window. I was towing a Jayco Hawk outback which has a rubberised material on the front of the trailer to minimise stones bouncing back. Unfortunately the lpg tank and jerry can sits in front of it they were pelted with stones. The Lpg tank now has a nice big piece of rubber in front of it to stop stone damage to the tank. I have also seen people glue outdoor carpet to thier jerry cans to stop stone damage. Along the trip you could here stones hitting and rolling along the roof.
I will probably be making up a perspex protector for future use.
